The Man With No Name

Abby Bell, Abby Bell

There was this girl I was practically in love with in college. I say practically because I was rational enough not to get carried away with it. But her name was Abby Bell, Abigail Bell, and she lived in Abington, Massachusetts. We never met. (Thus the “rational” part.) But we would mail each other Griffin and Sabine books, and she was pretty, and even better, she was hilarious. I still think of her as the Empress of Wednesdays. We talked a lot. And then she went and joined the Renaissance Faire. And when she came back, and we talked, she sounded tired and older. And she said she couldn’t talk, but would call me back, but she either didn’t or I must have slept through it. It’s the last time I heard from her. I sent her a letter at her old address, years later, but got no reply. And so every once in a while I look for her online. I thought I found her at AbbyBell.blogspot.com, but… it turns out that girl is nine.

i can relate. i know this gal miss abby bell from abington. she was a delight to behold. i haven’t seen her in years, and found this blog because i was looking for her as i do every once and a while. she is a classic beauty.

How weird. My name is Abby Bell, or Abigail Bell if you prefer. But I’m from Texas. And I don’t think anyone is searching on the internet for me. Sorry she never replied and got back to you. I swear not all Abby Bell(s) ignore nice people.

I too know this Abby Bell, I met her at the Ren Farie in MA called KRF. She stole my heart the first time I talked with her. The job that I do at the faire I run into alot of women, but none have affected more than this one. We had small chats for about three (faire) seasons and at the end of the fourth I asked her for a date, she said yes! We walked and talked. exchanged a few emails and phone calls, then all of a sudden no more communication.

Don’t worry dude, Friends tell me she is still alive and well. Not sure what is going on in her life, but from what I am told she is happy.

Wow, that is great to hear. She didn’t even have email when I knew her. She’ll still pop in unbidden to the mind here and there, though. Well, hooray! Thanks for the word. Good vibes to Abby! No idear how to get hold of her but it’d be great to hear from her again someday.
